PROVEN LEADER | ROOTED IN OUR COMMUNITY | COMMITTED TO YOU

WELCOME and THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY!

By visiting this website, you have become more involved in the political process. Given our hectic schedules, it is often quite difficult to participate in state politics, and I applaud you for doing so.

During the 2013 and 2014 sessions I sat on the following committees: Judiciary, Financial Institutions, the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, and the Appropriation Committee for Public Safety & Corrections. I was also a member of the Government Oversight and Accountability Committee, which heard bills regarding the expansion of Medicaid in both 2013 and 2014.

in 2013, I was the ranking minority member on the Interim Committee on Citizens and Legislators Working Group on Medicaid Eligibility and Reform as well as the Interim Committee on Medicaid Transformation. I was also a member of the Special Interim Committee on Privacy Protection and Interim Committee on Emerging Issues in Agriculture Policy.

The House Speaker has created only a few committees that will meet during the summer and fall of 2014, which is not unusual in an election year. However, I continue to work with area groups to improve government services and accountability for all Missourians.

Again, thank you for your support, and for participating in our political process. Of course, feel free to call or email me anytime.
